Chapter 2391: Heaven and the Celestial Army!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Over the last three years, the entire continent had worked together night and day to produce countless steel modules that allowed the vast scale of the defenses being erected today.

“Fool! What does he take the Celestial Army for? Does he think these mortal methods can work on them?”

In the distance, Grand Supreme looked upon this army with a cold and disdainful expression.

w.a.n.g Chong’s methods had always succeeded in secular wars, and even Grand Supreme had heard of them. But in the eyes of Grand Supreme, they weren’t even worth mentioning.

Elsewhere along the barrier, the hammering was incessant as the craftsmen continued to expand the defense line.

In the middle of the army, w.a.n.g Chong also began to set up special circular and tall platforms.

All of the construction was going smoothly. While Essence Supreme’s group watched from behind the barrier, the Great Tang army constructed defense line after defense line without concern.

Time slowly pa.s.sed, neither side taking action.

Even though they were separated by only ten-thousand-some feet, neither side was impatient.

w.a.n.g Chong was happy to continue reinforcing his defenses in this time. For an entire hour, both sides were at peace. In previous wars, this sort of peace was very rare.

Once everything was done, numerous defense lines had been set up across the front line, and countless sharp arrows had been aimed in Essence Supreme’s direction, enough to make anyone tremble in fear.

Besides that, more and more steel modules were being unloaded, and defensive measures were also being set up within the ranks of the army.

Once everything was done, a horse galloped up to w.a.n.g Chong, and Xu Keyi quickly dismounted and gave his report.

“Your Highness, everything is ready!”

“Mm! Dismissed!”

w.a.n.g Chong nodded.

w.a.n.g Zhongsi, Dalon Trinling, Bahram, Ozmish Khagan… countless people watched as w.a.n.g Chong finally rode his horse up to the front.

Whoos.h.!.+

w.a.n.g Chong’s abrupt action instantly drew everyone’s attention.

The expressions of Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, Radiance Supreme, and the numerous Fallen behind the barrier focused as they turned to look.

The Child of Destruction!

Also the Child of Prophecy!

With the curtain falling on the Celestial Palace incident three years ago, that prophecy from countless epochs ago had begun to spread. Even those Fallen with their damaged souls had learned of it. That young figure on the horse was that existence that was foretold to defeat Heaven.

The atmosphere tensed.

Even Essence Supreme unknowingly began to tense as he felt a pressure descend on him.

w.a.n.g Chong could no longer be treated as a mortal general. Someone who could destroy the Celestial Palace and defeat Heaven’s avatar was unimaginably powerful. Moreover, he had even managed to block the attack Heaven had made right after breaking free of his seal. Even Essence Supreme was not confident about taking on such an opponent.

At that moment, all of them were deeply apprehensive.

But to their surprise, w.a.n.g Chong only gave them a glance and scornfully chuckled before looking up at the sky.

“Heaven! Still not showing up?”

That resounding voice rumbled like thunder.

Silence!

Absolute silence!

The countless Fallen and Celestial Army soldiers fell silent, leaving only the sound of the rus.h.i.+ng wind.

The world was silent, but the supreme existence of this epoch, and its greatest devil, ‘Heaven’, failed to appear.

“Hmph, you don’t think that this is enough to deal with me, do you?”

w.a.n.g Chong coldly laughed, lightly flipping over his right hand.

“Or is it that you want me to personally destroy your barrier and force you out?”

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Kaboom!

The earth shuddered and the heavens quaked. That enormous barrier of divine characters, several thousand feet high and running from east to west, fiercely trembled, cracking sounds coming from within it. It grew increasingly unstable and seemed like it could crumble at any moment.

“How could this be?!”

All the members of the Celestial G.o.d Organization, including Essence Supreme, paled.

He knew that w.a.n.g Chong was very strong and had certainly gotten stronger over the last three years, but no one had imagined that it would reach this level.

The barrier that Heaven had laid down in the center of the Turkic steppe extended for ten thousand li. It had been imbued with the laws of the world and should have been an impregnable fortress.

This was why the Celestial G.o.d Organization had been unmoved as the continent’s army mobilized.

But to their shock, w.a.n.g Chong, with only a light wave of his hand, not even his full strength, had managed to shake this ma.s.sive barrier. There was no doubt that, just like Heaven, the Child of Prophecy had already reached the level of the laws of the world.

This was something that Grotto Heaven realm experts could not contend against!

Bang!

Suddenly, moments after w.a.n.g Chong had attacked the barrier, golden lightning erupted from the skies over the battlefield, and as everyone stared in shock, a golden pillar that had to be several thousand feet in diameter plunged from the heavens to crash behind the barrier.

Hwooo!

Winds howled and the earth quaked as universal energy swept out. Everyone instantly sensed a vast energy hanging overhead like a sun, radiating a mountainous pressure.

Neeeeigh!

Countless warhorses immediately cried out in panic and grew jittery. Together with the soldiers, they staggered backward.

It was like a storm had descended on the battlefield, making the air extremely heavy.

Bang!

The moment Heaven appeared, cheers exploded from the other side of the barrier, and Essence Supreme seemed much calmer now, his eyes bright.

“Celestial Emperor!”

“Celestial Emperor!”

“Celestial Emperor!”

Numerous eyes fervently gazed at that figure within the golden lightning.

But on the other side, the mood was much heavier.

Heaven!

The greatest foe of the human world had finally descended!

Everyone finally understood why w.a.n.g Chong had ordered the army to stop ten thousand feet from the barrier and to begin setting up fortifications.

Heaven was far too powerful. His aura alone was practically tangible, as vast as the sea. This was not something any mortal human could endure.

“Careful!”

“Activate the formation!”

The light of formation after formation erupted from the vast human army, an invisible energy engulfing the soldiers. With this barrier, the invisible pressure was reduced to a bearable level.

“Haha, truly disappointing. w.a.n.g Chong, you wasted these three years to gather up a human army?”

Heaven’s voice rang out like a bell, and it came in from all sides. Within this voice was a slight mocking tone.

“If that is all, then today will be the end of this epoch of humanity. w.a.n.g Chong, are you ready?”

As Heaven spoke, the entire world trembled.

On the other end, w.a.n.g Chong sharply stared at the floating form of Heaven!

After numerous years of waiting, the moment he was waiting for had finally come!

This was the archcriminal, the source of calamity. As long as he could kill him, he could end everything and resolve the disaster facing the world.

“Heaven, you’re wrong!”

w.a.n.g Chong coldly laughed, a domineering look in his eyes as his body erupted with fighting intent.

“Humanity will not go extinct, and the world will not end. On the contrary, the only ones that will end will be you ‘divine’ clowns that have been hiding behind the curtain of history all these times. The heavens help those who help themselves. Heaven, you will not succeed. After this epoch, the world will no longer be under the control of so-called G.o.ds. No one will be able to control the destiny of humanity!”

w.a.n.g Chong’s eyes were as sharp as blades, and even the distant Supremes paled at his gaze.

“Is that so? With just this army of several million human soldiers?”

Floating in the air, Heaven coldly laughed and spread apart his arms.

Boom!

The sky darkened, dark clouds churning, countless figures rapidly taking form within them. To Heaven’s left and right, thick bolts of lightning streaked through the air. A moment later, as if a curtain had been taken away, countless golden figures appeared in the air, high in the sky, floating above the dark clouds.

These people all wore golden armor and held swords, sabers, or halberds in their hands. They appeared sacred and mighty, like warriors of the heavens. Their eyes were sharp, and as they looked down on the battlefield, they were like an unsheathed sword, ready to attack at any time.

The Celestial Army!

Heaven had finally released the entirety of the Celestial Army.

Through epoch after epoch, Heaven had slowly acc.u.mulated the soldiers of his vast Celestial Army. This time, Heaven had summoned not just one division of this army, but all of it.

From the perspective of the people on the ground, the Celestial Army blotted out the sky, seeming to extend all the way to the horizon.

All two million members of the Celestial Army were here!

The immense pressure they radiated was simply suffocating.

Though the battle had not yet begun, this aura was enough to leave everyone shaken.

Even w.a.n.g Zhongsi, Bahram, Yeon Gaesomun, and We Tadra Khonglo were taken aback.

“This is the Celestial Army!”

w.a.n.g Chong had informed them long ago about the Celestial Army’s existence, but they were still left stunned by that vast golden army floating above the dark clouds.

There was no doubt that this was the strongest army to have appeared on the continent in history. Its mere appearance alone had exerted an immense pressure on everyone below.

Even the Wushang Cavalry turned grave.

This was not a foe that would be easily defeated.

Everyone’s hearts sank at that moment.
